Greene, a native of New York, turned pro in 2005 and has since shaken up the world of bodybuilding with his unconventional posing style.

Spectators may see him transition from a front double bicep pose straight into a handstand, or a side chest pose into a dance move.

It's that style that excites crowds and makes Kai Greene one of the most popular pros on the IFBB tour, show promoter Mike Vruggink said.

"I like Kai because he brings a very artistic presentation to the stage," Vruggink said. "There is a certain degree of theatrical performance within a routine. Other individuals may have a set choreographed routine in their mind, creating an artistic piece of entertainment."

Vruggink said Greene performs by feel, listening to the music and the crowd to inspire his performance.

"From what I understand, Kai comes to the stage with no set routine in his mind, he just goes out there and creates what he feels is best," Vruggink said.

Greene is currently near the top of his profession, finishing second in the 2012 Mr. Olympia contest to Phil Heath and third in 2011. He won the Arnold Classic in 2009 and 2010.

Another of Greene's unique qualities lie in his physique.

Standing a mere 5-foot-8 and competing at a weight of just over 250 pounds, Greene's muscularity and thickness is a sight to see, Vruggink said.

"There's some major muscle on this man's body and it's very defined," Vruggink said. "When you have somebody that can move that well and artistically it's going to create a visual piece of entertainment for the audience."

"He has a fabulous physique and he knows how to show it within a choreographed routine that displays a number of things like flexibility, symmetry and muscularity," Vruggink said. "When he makes a transition from pose to pose he'll set himself up so the audience sees almost like a live sculpture moving from pose to pose and it's quite entertaining."
